Occupational injuries and illnesses have been on the decline for most of the last 13 years and that trend continued in 2015, according to a report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Private employers reported about 2.9 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in 2015. There were three reported cases per 100 full-time workers, the report said, which is the lowest recorded rate since 2002.
